At the bottom of the Swartberg pass, once into the initial gorge, you twist along and come out at a river where people stop to picnic and swim in the summer. Also just there is a lone standing pinnacle of rock onto which people have written "Jesus" as it forms a sort of natural cross.
We were photographing this just as two sales reps we had met in the restaurant last night came whizzing past us on their way to Oudtshoorn. They greeted us then continued on their way. We took a few more pictures of the rugged rocks from the bottom of the pass and carried on twisting our way up the hill.
